Anna Granados

Pleaaaseee do a Twilight episode I am begging you

Selah Judge

I would love if they were to be a monthly thing, to do more history of fan girls/fan fiction/why so many people like it! And there’s so much interesting stuff around the lore of the different authors and like for Stephanie meyer connections to Mormonism etc!

Bryn Jennings

Have loved them so far - was CACKLING thru the most recent one - but as others have said, maybe once every other month feels like a good frequency

Crunchy Carrot

Abigail Junae

As much as isn’t draining for you guys! It wears on a person reading constant shit I’m sure lmao

Kayla Barry

I laugh the entire time, pleaseee they are such a relief and a joy as much as a horror

Emily West

Pleaseeeee read Archer’s Voice … I’m begging. Here’s the synopsis: I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin. For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived--and my dad didn't. I'm almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis . . . and never rights itself again. Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There's so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all. So much passion. And so much hurt. But it's only in Archer's silence that we might just find what we need to heal . . . and live.

Julia

looove the bad book banter but would also love a few earnest book clubs as well! once a month is perf

Sarah Hanning

The raw commentary these eps produce…. Golden. Pls release as many as ur heart desires bc i 🤍

kendall

if yall do acotar please read the first two books!

M

I feel like the bad book Club won’t be as fun if you’re doing it once a month. The Colleen Hoover bad book review was so funny because you have never done it before. Please don’t overdo this because it is such a funny concept.

Theis Anderson

these eps are fun and I’m here for the banter! but worry that once a month means it’s half of the Patreon content which feels like quite a lot. maybe every couple of months?

Paola Ayre

Not really my favourite

Sarah

I’ve been enjoying these! Even though I haven’t read either book you guys have done, your summaries have been cracking me up. I would LOVE it once a month but I’d still love the other bonus content you guys usually do so idk if there’s a way to balance it or maybe you could add another Patreon tier

Ryn C

Sometimes my brain gets stuck on a random phrase and more than once that phrase has been Julia imitating that pathetic ass man saying “pleeeeease fuck me” so yes I love bad book club but also don’t wear yourselves out reading trash lol. Maybe skip a month then do a double whammy with the first two acotar books?

Abbey W

love these eps, agree with others who say every month might be too much. maybe every other month would work? also wouldn’t want y’all getting burned out with all the reading!!

Jane L.

I really enjoy these eps but wouldn’t want them at the expense of the current bonus content! Maybe alternating between every other month?

molly

pleaseeeee do ACOTAR!!! the writing is so bad hahahahahah

emma av

Honestly… not my fave episodes! Of course you guys are hilarious and I enjoyed both of the eps so far but I feel like there’s already so much bad book club content out there. It feels stale compared to the rest of your bonus eps. I would prefer more lovelines, reddit deep dives, mailbox eps, or just chatty eps/culture roundup eps!

Lauren Daniels

i love them but i would love them more if you would let us know what you’re going to be reading ahead of time so that we can read it as well and understand more of what you talk about ❤️

Veronika Hughes

these eps are fun but worst bestsellers already exists so i would love to hear more different content <3

Hannah Millward

is there an option for MORE than once a month?

Rose

Rose 22:41 I doubt you guys would care what me, a stranger thinks. But I have been a dedicated listener of yours for years, I have recommended Binchtopia to every person in my life. I reference Binchtopia episodes all the time, I listen to you guys through my darkest moments. You both have inspired me greatly as a young femme with an interest in anti capitalist ideas, politics and history. You have motivated me to further pursue my degree and explore more of the world. But recently I’ve stopped listening. I listen to Binchtopia because of how you approach important cultural or political subjects that are pressing in our fucked up world. You speak your minds, you speak for others and inspire others to use their voice to make change, to educate. However that’s really changed recently, you have barely spoken on one of the most currently pressing examples of mass blatant ethnic cleansing and perpetual oppression and violence that is happening as I type this. This is what is happening in Israel and Palestine more specifically Gaza. I understand the world is vast and it’s hard to cover every issue or story in the world. But this issue connects us all, this is genocide, this is the erasure of a people. This is ethnic cleansing happening right before our eyes. You have spoken on Black Lives Matter, police brutality, stories of violence to POC and LGBTQ+ people, trans rights and much more. All these subjects and issues are believe it or not directly connected to what is happening in Palestine. This is blatant ethnic cleansing. What is happening is blatant racism, discrimination, it is capitalism, it is fascism, it is genocide. All subjects you have been outspoken on. I know you both had a brief discussion of Gaza in the start of one of your episodes. And I understand being hesitant to do an episode on this issue. But also you have the power that a lot of others don’t, which is a platform of eager listeners. You should be using your platform to spread awareness, educate people on this history. You've created so much detailed content on current events, political atrocities and history. You have taken the position in your media of doing research and then educating others on current events and communities at risk, you have taken a consistent position of being outspoken. Yet with this pressing issue of mass genocide by a powerful country, we only hear but a whisper from you on Binchtopia. You go back to business as usual, making ‘funny segments’ and completely ignoring what’s happening. Julia as a Jewish woman with a large platform you have the power to educate others, your voice is a voice that is crucial at this point. A voice in the Jewish community in support of Palestine, a voice that could be helping to align the Jewish and Palestinian people. Many Jewish people of influence right now are using their voice to stand up for the people of Palestine. To speak up for the Jewish people that do not align with the right wing violent state of Israel. To separate the Jewish identity from what the current state of Israel says the Jewish identity is. You have the power to help unite, it takes us all making small steps, using our voices, showing up to help our diverse world unite. Speaking up in our communities. Instead you use binchtopia and your platform to talk about the latest season of the Kardashians. I can understand this would be a sensitive subject for a Jewish person. But when you have power, when you have a platform even if seemingly smaller, the 99% that have no voice, that aren’t heard…. look to you. Look to you, the person who was just profiled in the NY times, the person that has been steadily growing a large following of listeners, eagerly awaiting each episode as they learn and become more aware. You are a person that people are listening to, please do small actions to help, use your voice, show us that not everyone in any level of power or influence is silent in times of crisis. Eliza I commend you for your social media posts in support of Palestine but you still hold a podcast with thousands of listeners. It’s time to speak up. You have the power to create content to help Palestinians. You both don’t get to cherry pick which examples of racial violence and genocide you choose to condemn. It’s time to use your platform for awareness, to give voice to those who aren’t being heard. In the end you will look back on this as either someone who stood up and used their power and influence for the freedom of the oppressed or someone who ignored it and used their privilege to pretend it’s not happening. That all is well and comedic ‘bad books’ episodes. I miss this podcast and I’m hoping for change and understanding from you guys. This podcast became an incredible escape for me and a space for me to feel understood even from afar. A space for me to learn.

Hi Rose. I just read your comment because I can understand where you're coming from. Admittedly, I also thought Binchtopia would make an entire episode (or several) on this subject as it is so pertinent and their platform is so big and only growing. Since many of the subjects they talk about are tied to what is happening in Gaza right now, it would only be fitting for them to talk about it and dedicate an entire episode or several to it. However, I also completely understand the hesitation, even if I don't fully condone it. Speaking up about what's happening has landed a lot of people in hot water or even losing their jobs and income. Which is not a valid reason to not do it. But I think the circumstances are pretty complex with Julia being a Jewish woman and them both still being fairly young women. I'm 33 and live in Europe (Switzerland) and even though education here is at a very high level, even I didn't know nearly enough up until October 8th. It was only after that that I fully understood the complexities, the colonialism, the ethnic cleansing, the settlements, the western back up of Israel etc. Now I'm 100% speaking up for civilians, for Palestinians to live a free, dignified and peaceful existance. And against anti-semitism, which is again on the rise, like islamophobia. What I would suggest is one or several episodes with Gav, since he is a historian where maybe us listeners could also submit some questions? I would definitely appreciate Binchtophia making their stance known. I could hear in the intro when they talked about it how saddened they were and I'm absolutely convinced their hearts are in the right place, I just think, like Rose, that they should and could use their platform to support Palestine, to educate some people. The Israeli propaganda, the right-wing, fascist one, is very prevalent and persistent in the US. Anyone speaking out against the regime is just blatantly and falsely labeled and anti-semite. I personally would like to know from Gav and other history sources why Americans are so hell bent on yelling anti-semite at anyone just wanting to free Palestine and protect civilians. I would also really appreciate Binchtopia speaking on this atrocious war, I do however understand the hesitation and maybe the need for more time and space to come to an opinion you want to share with the world.

Hannah

I would listen to a whole side podcast of these episodes tbh

Rose
>>122594210

Hey! Thank you for reading my comment and replying. I totally understand where you’re coming from. Potential loss of income is a risk none of us can take in this capitalist system. I think taking the time to come to a conclusion on our own is important. I think however it’s important to recognize that this issue is happening as we speak and it’s getting worse. Our governments are not speaking up for a ceasefire so we need now more than ever people with large followings and connections to media outlets speaking up.

Rose
>>122594210

Also speaking up against capitalism and fascism always runs you the risk of loss of income or landing in hot water. Binchtopia has always taken that risk.

Kirsten Drehobl

I like the bad book club, but definitely want it to be less frequent than once a month

Alison
>>122594210

I read your comment Rose. Thank you. I have been going back and forth trying to understand how I feel about influencers speaking out. Honestly, in the beginning I felt the same as I was told. There was no reason for someone to speak out because there are plenty of others who are more educated and credible. But after Brittney Broskis apology video, (she avoided speaking out on similar terms as Julia and Eliza ((who wants to hear from me I’m in not expert Im just a podcaster )) it really shifted my perspective. I have listened to every episode of binchtopia and I am positive there has been some conversation about where our money goes ethically. We WANT to support creators with our own money that have the same morals as we do. We just want to make sure we are still giving our money, time, views and likes to people we align with politically and socially. On a side note, if Eliza and Julia are really nervous about diving deep into the direct relationship of Israel and Palestine, i would like to hear a deep dive into a niche sub culture of Palestinians. I would love to hear an episode about their culture, history as a unit, olives trees and their symbolism , the Dead Sea, architecture, refugees and age groups, anything to keep the soul of their community alive and more of a reason for us to support them.

Rose
>>122594210

That’s so real! I agree! It would be amazing to highlight some of the beauty of Palestine and culture! Highlight why this country is beautiful and should be free

Jenna Kretschman

i love it but plz don't make me pay extra for it <3

Annabelle

can u do more video episodes even over zoom I <3 u guys mannerisms

Patricia

some of my fav eps frfr

Leo Rodriguez
>>122594210

Thanks for posting this, I’ve been feeling this way too. The return to “business as usual” has felt like a rug being pulled from underneath, honestly. I was at the live show in NY and this podcast has been a part of my daily life for a while, but I’m starting to view the pod differently. Having stability and a platform and living in the heart of the imperial core (as do I), and silence on atrocities happening today? If not right now then when? When it’s over, when it’s simple, when it’s trendy, when it’s funny to joke about? It makes me view Binchtopia as an escapist platform where the message is “we can acknowledge the world sucks and retreat to our comforts” instead of “we can laugh about the absurdity of the world’s failures and then learn and face the ones happening today”. Sure, most entertainment I would consume today would be a form of escapism. But Binchtopia has presented itself as progressive, leftist, speaking up on many other issues like you noted. I loved how the pod could entertainment people while also generally educating them and fracturing the “business as usual” world that imperialism and capitalism need us to believe is all there is. This retreat some people with platforms have of “I’m just a podcaster look to people who know more” is similar to the “it’s not my responsibility to teach you anything” of Twitter some years ago. I argue it IS the responsibility of platformed people paying tax dollars that fund genocide. Everyone wants to say “well what can I do about my country’s budget” and the very LEAST you can do is speak about it and hammer away at the illusion that everything is okay. Thanks again for your comment, I am reading Patreon comments for the first time since their initial statement. I’m considering cancelling my subscription after seeing how many others are dissatisfied. If Binchtopia begins to acknowledge the atrocities of Palestine, by even sourcing other materials with their voices, sure it would be late. But it would be 100% the best thing they could do.

Rose
>>122594210

I completely agree! Paraphrasing a post I saw recently, we think we’d stand up and speak against slavery had we been alive at the time or the holocaust for example . Yet as people in the west many of us are using our privilege and staying silent during genocide? It boggles my mind!

Char

Honestly once a week would be great lol. Once a month at least pls!!!!!!

Louise Duncan

Sllllllaaaayyyyyyyy once a month as long as your brains don’t rot

Hannah

I once led a mutiny in an AP lit group project over a TERRIBLE book called Emily Ever After. I think it would be good for the bad book club bc t’s like a christian proto-Emily in Paris or a 2000s romcom steeped in purity culture. My main memory of it is her being guilty for feeling horny sharing a bed with or maybe even just near a hot guy. I read it in a day in downtime between classes so not a slog at all, at least. Grabbing the link I noticed this is supposedly a retelling of Esther from the Bible? Esther is one of my favorite biblical figures to an extent that I am borderline offended by that 🤨 anyway link here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/38062/emily-ever-after-by-anne-dayton-and-may-vanderbilt/9780385514637

Annie Mayne
